Police told WLWT News 5's Brian Hamrick that the break in the case came when a bike patrol officer on his way to a meeting rode past the teens on the street and noticed that one of the teens was wearing a shirt the officer had seen in surveillance video of one of the attacks.

The officer turned around and talked with the teens, then brought detectives to the scene, who placed the teens under arrest.

Police said the teens viewed the attacks as a game and looked for victims who appeared unlikely to fight back.

Hamrick spoke with Chadwick Laumann, who was attacked last month at a bus stop. Laumann said he was relieved to hear about the arrests and hoped he could get restitution for the money stolen and his hospital bills.

"I'm very happy about it and very blessed that it happened so fast and now nobody else is going to get hurt by them," Laumann said.

Police and Laumann said they hope victims of the attacks who have not come forward will do so, and Laumann said he would be willing to go to court with other victims if it would help.
